There looks like one is in stage 5 right at the end of John Campbell Pde if I'm not mistaken and there's one on Steeltrap near the bridge too. Main…

Yeah, if you have your elevation drawings, it shouldn't take too long to draw up on sketchup. It'll possibly take a bit of time to learn to use the program…

Thanks bumblebees and Rosey
We finally got to the site today. They were doing the pipes for plumbing and the machine operator levelled the…

Bumblebees, we are pretty much at the same stage! Our slab was done earlier this week. A big thanks to Whytee for the progress pics cos we haven't had the…

To clarify, did the BASIX assessment get you over the line without the solar HW system , or did Clarendon add that in as part of the assessment to get…

Not that the guidelines are bible, but it makes no mention of requiring a solar hot water system.
We have a 5 star instantaneous gas system and this meets the…

At $6,000+ it will likely take you a life time to make that back in savings compared with an instantaneous gas system. Not the systems life time, yours.
As Whytee…

Big congrats Bumblebees! We aren't far behind, hopefully they'll be pegging out in the next week, so will be great to share the build process.

Hello and welcome F2014
On the landscaping quote, a landscaper should be able to give you a quote based on landscape plans so if you haven't done those already, that's something…

We had a tender that was for an October start and we won't be starting for another month or two - being in early stages of council approval process.
So…

Great news lyricsinmotion!

That's great info omer, thanks for spreading the top find

Thanks mate. Our builder's rep just emailed to say she's already submitted

I'm joining lyricsinmotion in doing a jig over the weekend:
We have just received approval not only from the bank for our construction loan, but also from Linc and the DRP…

aw, what a let down! just keeping dancing - Monday's only two business sleeps away

Congrats lyricsinmotion - that's great news all round!

That's interesting Whytee, though I think the builder would prefer as much room as possible. I was mostly thinking about the security fencing.…

From experience with our builder and speaking to some others. I don't think they'll allow it.
You can either:

Thanks Rosey! Lisa is doing well.
Congrats on your wedding too - glad to hear it went well. Was a lovely day I'm sure.

Hi first_home_buyer. It may well take place in March, but be prepared for it to be delayed by a few months. We are building in 5a. That area was meant…

That's pretty pants lyricsinmotion. Our builder rep said from the get go she was going thru CDC after a few bad experiences with Blacktown Council
